Small Learning Communities (SLC) at DHS

  • Each SLC has a “coherent methodology”, i.e. an agreed way of working together, a shared language, that is understood by the teachers and the students in the SLC
  • Teachers make decisions based on the needs of their students, which are identified by data
  • Each SLC has a teacher community that works together on behalf of their students being successful – collective responsibility
  • Each SLC has “tools” that they use to help their students perform well.
  • Each SLC can identify essential qualities and skills that students should develop, (DHS school mission statement)… and correlate with 21st Century learning
  • Every student is ready to move towards more independent learning by the end of the 10th grade, supported by their advisor, counselor, and administrator.
